• a biography of the mathematician
• a description of their most important contributions (you may also mention important
contributions to fields outside of mathematics)
• a section focusing specifically on their important contributions to geometry
• the full, precise statement of at least one important geometric theorem proved by the
mathematician (preferably one of their most famous contributions or a theorem that bears their
name, if one exists) with some exposition about this theorem
• clear citations showing where the information came from.
Solution
Robin Cope Hartshorne (born March 15, 1938) is an American mathematician. Hartshorne is an
algebraic geometer who studied with Zariski, Mumford, J.-P. Serre and Grothendieck.
He was a Putnam Fellow in Fall, 1958. He received his doctorate from Princeton University in
1963[1] and then became a Junior Fellow at Harvard University, where he taught for several
years. In the 1970s he was appointed to the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley. He
is currently retired.
Hartshorne is the author of the popular text Algebraic Geometry. He plays the shakuhachi, and
paints.
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
Algebric Geometry is the field in which he has worked majorly. He has written a book on it
The Mathematics Genealogy Project is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of
mathematicians. By 7 November 2017, it contained information on 219,978 mathematical
scientistswho contributed to research-level mathematics. For a typical mathematician, the project
entry includes graduation year, thesis title, alma mater, doctoral advisor, and doctoral students.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/robinhartshorneabiographyofthemathematicianadescriptio-230711202611-6dce76f7/85/Robin-Hartshorne-a-biography-of-the-mathematician-a-descriptio-pdf-1-320.jpg)
